Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

Lincoln's Emancipation PROCLAMATION.
The original Of this is written upon
common official paper, and is in the hand
of President Lincoln, save the second
and third paragraphs, which are printed.
The printed paragraphs We're cut from
the previous proclamation Of Sept. %,
and rasted upon the sheet by Mr.. Lin
coin himself, TO save the labor of writing
them. The attest is in the hand Of
Secretary Seward-a handwriting not
greatly unlike that of the president, only
that il is larger and rather more regular.
When the secretary Of state started to
pen the attest there appears to have been
a raveling in his pen, for as far as the
sixth word. "hereunto," the lines are
heavy and partly blurred. The signature
of the president is more tremulous than
the body Of the document, and sp-
pears poor as a specimen Of chirography
among the straight lines Of Mr.. Stewards
firm hand The tremulousness was due,
not to nervousness, hut TO the fact that
Mr.. Lincoln signed the proclamation on
New Years day, after having shaken
hands with several hundred people.
BY a singular incident there really
exists today two original copies of the
emancipation proclamation. The Incl
dent consists in the fact that Mr.. Lin
coin. at the request of the British
museum. made. with his own hand, a
second copy of his great paper, This is
unlike that preserved at Washington, in
that the attest is filled out by hand not
that of either the president or the secre-
tary Of state. The paper used was an
unfolded parchment about twenty-four
by thirty-six inches. II is now elegantly
framed and may he seen hanging in one
of the library rooms in the British
museum. Chicago News.

chester in pursuit of Shields. They drove
back his pickets. Apparently there was only
a small rear guard of Union troops at Win
chester. There was sharp attack, which
was repealed by the Federals, but the much
SCARED veteran Shields was wounded again;
a fragment of shell broke his arm.
Gen Banks had remained with Shields
division up to this time. But the morning of
March %, feeling certain that Stonewall
jackson would not attack, he started to
Washington. Shields thought differently,
however, and with his broken arm in sling
made ready for the battle of Winchester.
At Q o'clock jackson came up with his
whole force colors flying. He stopped at
Kernstown, three miles south of Winchester.
Ashby had encamped there with his cavalry
after the skirmsh of the day before. Shields
force was upon ridge not far from Kerns-
town, though jackson did not know how
large it was His men were wearied out with
marching, but he ordered an immediate and
hot attack on Shields right upon the ridge
near Kernstown He hoped to sever Shields
line and cut him off from Winchester.
Jackson's men charged up the ridge with
great spirit, and were met with a vigorous
artillery fire. Shields managed to hold the
Confederates off till he had brought his re-
serves into line; then he attacked with his
whole force.
There was fierce fight of three hours. and
then the battle of Winchester or Kerpstown
was over. Stonewall Jackson was defeated
He lost two guns and 700 men in killed,
wounded and prisoners Shields lost 544 ac-
cording to the record.
Next day the citizens of Winchester, headed
by the mayor, came out to bury the Con-
federate dead who had been lying where they
fell upon the bloody field. A deep, wide pit
was dug and there in one common grave,
several hundred dead men in gray were
buried. The southern writer, Pollard, says:
Scarcely family in the country but had a
relative there"
Banks returned at once from Washington
and set off in pursuit of jackson, who had re-
treated rapidly, leaving dead and wounded
behind. Banks pursued thirty miles, till his
men were too exhausted to go farther. He
stopped at Woodstock to rest. Jackson con
tinued retreatng till he came to Harrison
burg, where he remained till April 10, Ell
deavorng to recover himself after the battle
of kernstown.
1t was severe Confederate defeat at
Kernstown. But there was no loss of enthu-
| saSm for jackson among his wearied and
| fleeing men.
"Why is 'Old jack a better general than
| Moses!' asked one of his soldiers, conundrum
| fashion. Answer: Because it took Moses
forty years to lead the IsraelitcS through the
wilderness and Old Jack would have double
quicked them through in three days.
| April 10 Jackson crossed the south fork OF
the Shenandoah. He was thus within easy
reach of Johnston at Gordonsville.

This exploring party was surrounded by hos
tile Indians and cut to pieces, only Gen. Lam
der himself escaping. He made five expedi-
tons altogether across the continent all of
them attended with danger and full of the
element of the romantic. He was perhaps
the only American who ever brought back an
unexpended fund from congressional ap
preparation. Wherever dash and bra
very, as well as correct judgment, were
required, Lander was to be de-
pended on. In 1860 he married
the gifted actress, Jean Davenport. In 1861
he offered his services to Gen. Scott, for the
war, sin any capacity, at any time and for
any duty" His offer was accepted, and from
that time on till his career closed, all too
early he was to be found where fighting was
He was wounded in the leg at Edwards
Ferry, but before the wound healed he was
off at Romney, Va, commanding the forces
there Once he marched 1000 men forty
three miles through a deep snow, and without
rest and with almost no food, charged them
upon a Confederate camp at BlComery Gap,
routing it completely. So impetuous was he
that with a single aid he galloped ahead Of
his men and demanded and received the Con-
federate commanders sword.
So little is known, however, of this brilliant
and romantic figure that his name Is seldom
mentioned in the war "reminiscences which are
now at flood tide in the country. 1t is because
Gen. Lander died so early in the war. Soon
after the beginning of 1862 his health
failed and he was at length stricken with
a typhoid fever He applied for leave of alb
sence from military duty, but before the per-
NIT came, while he was yet waiting, word
came that Jackson's men were in the neigh
borhood. He rose from his bed, called his
aids about him and, with the old time fire in
his eye, purposed to make a midnight attack
At that moment his hour struck He was
seized with sudden congestion OF the brain
and died in a few minutes.
He was man of fine physique and extra
ordinary personal magnetism. If he had
lived ne would have been among the larger
| figures of the war.

placed in command Of his division.

the close of the campaign even, when he
wrote asking to join the Richmond army, Lee
wrote back word for him TO come in a con-
fidential letter directed: "Gen. T. j. Jack
son, Somewhere"
In November, 1861, Stonewol Jackson had
occupied Winchester 1t was point danger
ously near the Potomac, and jackson sought
to get yet nearer. He made an attack on the
little town of Bath, very near the Potomac.
His intention was to cross the river. But he
was prevented from doing this by Gen. f. w.
Lander, who commanded the Federal forces
in northern Virginia. But he took possession
of Romney and divided the Federal forces in
northern Virginia. Then he made Winches-
ter his headquarters during the winter, re-
cruiting large numbers of men. In March,
1862, Gen. Joseph +. Johnston evacuated Cen
trevile and went nearer Richmond. AT the
same time the Federal Gen. Banks advanced
toward Winchester. These two circumstances
induced jackson to retreat TO Woodstock,
forty miles south of Winchester.

MAY 90 before leaving the Potomac, his
rear guard made n pretended attack ON Har-
per's Ferry and Charestown, while his sup
ply and ammunition trains were being sent
south in the advance. Jackson's favorite SOL
diers were those of his old command, called
the Stonewall brigade. They led the attack
on Charlestown.
MANY of Jackson's soldiers were from the
vicinity of Charlestown and had not seen
their families for year. But not a moment
were they allowed to delay. After making
the show of battle at Harper's Ferry and
Charlestown they were hurried southwark.

CROSS KEYS AND PORT REPUBLIC.

June 8, Jacksons rear, commanded by
Ewell, was at Gross Keys, written also X
Keys.
In this famous race the Confederate army
had now nearly reached the upper end Of the
Shenandoah, and had not yet been captured.
Either side of them was an army quite equal
in size to them ready to pounce upon them.
About six miles southeast of Cross Keys was

yet remained bridge. All depended on
whether Shields on the east side or Jackson on
the west side of the south fork reached Port

ment was shot dead at their head. And from
that day on Thomas Jonathan Jackson was

Light Elder" because he was so strict Pres
byterian. There was in him more resem-
blance to the old Scotch covenanter than in

jackson was born at Clarksburg, Va, in
1924. Slow, awkward, friendless and bash
full, he yet struggled up through youth of
toll and poverty till he obtained the appoint
ment as a West Point cadet. In time he was
graduated there. He served in the Mexican
war as a lieutenant, and won honors for his
bravery and GOODNESS. Failing health led him
TO accept the professorship in the Virginia
military institute. At the outbreak of the
civil war he marched to Richmond at the
head of corps of cadets he had already been
drilling in anticipation of fighting.

MARCH AND COUNTERMARCH.

The sudden attack of jackson at Kerns-
town caused change i'll the plans at Wash
ington. Banks and his corps were halted on
the way to Manassas, and sent in pursuit of
the flying Confederates At the same time
Shields division of Banks corps, which had
routed jackson at Winchester, was detached
from Banks and sent to Mcdowell. Nc
Dowell was to halfway cooperate with Nc
Clellan at Richmond and wholly keep an
eye Sn Washington. Just what he was to do
seems never to have been fully decided on
president and Secretary Stanton on the
other
To get the movements that followed the
battle of Winchester clearly in mind it will
be necessary to note upon the map the posi-
ton of both the Confederate and Union
troops in northern Virginia at the beginning
of May. Gen Richard S. Ewell's corps of
10000 Confederate troops had been sent to
Jackson from Richmond. That general
after crossing the south fork of the Shenan-
doah, continued his retreat and encamped
at length near Swift Run gap. 1t had
been an exciting, romantic retreat Col
Turner Ashby, the cavalryman, was Jack
sons rear guard. He lowered about the
Federal advance, now making a dash at
them and engaging in a hot skirmish, now
galloping away with ringing of sabers when
they came too near 1t was work he delighted
in. He rode at this time magnificent white
horse, as famous in Confederate annals as the
Union Sheridans black horse became in this
very region two years later. Ashby, left
alone, was the last man to cross the
alrymen were almost upon him as he
rode for life over the bridge. Two galloped
on in advance Ashby turned suddenly on
them. A bullet from his party already across
down. Ashby cleft the other with his saber
and he, too, fell Then Ashby galloped in
hot haste over the bridge.
Meantime balls rained like hail around the
bold rider. One of them pierced his milk
white horse and gave the beautiful animal q
mortal wound. He carried his rider safe
across the bridge, however, torrent OF
blood flowing from his side as he ran. Ash
by's famous ride on the white horse was
continued two miles.
Jackson, with Ewells corps, was at Swift
Run gap. On the Federal side plans were
made to hem him in on three sides and crusl
him.
Banks had pursued Jackson as far south a.
| Harrisonburg. He had about 6, 900 men after
